Compare metals side by side

Choose two to four metals. The finish you see is decided on a physical sample, so ask for one before you decide.

Swipe sideways to see every metal.

	Copper	Stainless Steel
Character	Soft, ductile, and never quite finished changing.	Cool, precise, structural.
How it looks	Bright pink-orange when new, moving through browns to deep near-black, or driven deliberately to green and blue verdigris.	From full mirror through vibration and hairline to a soft brushed matt.
Where we use it	Facade cladding and shingle systems Hand-beaten sculpture and wall art Ceiling baffles and coves Feature doors and entrance panels Boundary wall and exterior treatments	Mirror-polished columns and feature surfaces Lobby, lift and high-traffic wall cladding Bar, reception and vanity counters Concealed structural frames and stiffeners Balustrade posts and glass channels
Outdoors	One of the classic exterior metals.	Widely used externally.
Finishes	11: mirror, brushed & satin, hammered, hand-beaten, embossed, special texture, special effects, antique…	10: mirror, hairline, brushed & satin, vibration, embossed, etched, special texture, special effects…
In short	The most workable metal on the floor and the most unpredictable in service — which is exactly why it is used where character matters more than uniformity.	The metal that holds a mirror polish and holds it in public.
